Options with upgrading stock radio to single din aftermarket? 2006 Accord
I would like to remove the stock stereo in my 2006 Accord LX (auto) and replace it with a single din deck I have. What will I need to make the switch?
Thanks for any feedback!

Thanks for posting the pic! To be honest I am not sure how I feel with the look. Is the deck recessed in the kit? Any closer shots? How are the controls? My experience with aftermarket parts are they usually don't meet the standards of OEM. With that in mind how are the buttons, fitment, and quality of this piece?
For $150 I am going to look into connecting an Ipod to the factory deck
Thanks again for the pic and info

In a Junkyard near you.
No that unit is nowhere close to the quality of an OEM unit. The buttons look and feel very cheap and the radio has a very poor fit, it doesn't even follow the lines of the dashboard very well.
I have some pictures of one from about 4 years ago.

Thanks for your input as I was still debating on the piece. You have confirmed my decision to NOT purchase this piece. Thanks again
